Rangers’ Myles Beerman gets Malta international call-up

MALTA boss Pietro Ghedin has praised Rangers starlet Myles Beerman after calling him up to his squad for the first time.

The 18-year-old full back has impressed after making it into the first-team under Pedro Caixinha.

And he has caught the eye of Malta’s Italian boss Ghedin, who has included him in his squad for their double-header friendly against Ukraine and World Cup qualifier in Scotland’s group against Slovenia in June.

Ghedin admits he has been impressed by the young defender’s displays.

He said: “Everyone deserves a chance at the national team and I have picked some young players for the squad.

“Myles deserves his opportunity. He is playing with a big club and the young players like him can be the future of Malta.

“It will take patience of course as these kids don’t have the experience at international level yet.

“But I firmly believe we will have the makings of a good team in a year or so’s time.”
